Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of spinnable solutions of fl-polyamides.
  • aromatic polyamides from solutions of metal salts, especially lithium chloride may be dissolved in anhydrous, acid-free organic solvents and that they may be worked up from these solutions (German Auslegeschrift 1,107,399); however, ih has not been possible up to the present time to polymerize lactams, especially fl-lactams, in solvent systems of this type and to spin the polyamide solutions obtained in this form or to work them up into shaped articles (direct polymerization).
  • spinnable solutions of polyflamides can be obtained by direct polymerization when ,B-lactams which are unsubstituted at the nitrogen atom are polymerized in a neutral or at most weakly basic solvent in the presence of catalysts and, optionally, ac-
  • tivators usually employed in the anionic polymerization of B-lactams, said solvent containing 0.9% to 50% by weight of lithium halides or lithium pseudo halides, and the molecules of which contain 1 to 12 carbon atoms, at least two hetero atoms of Group V or Group VI of the Periodic Table in direct linkage with one another or linked through a carbon atom, and which contain a semipolar or a double bond at at least one of these hetero atoms.
  • the polymer solutions obtained in this manner are stable and withstand storage even at room temperature for many weeks.
  • the solvent system is substantially less selective than phosphoric acid trisdimethyl amide and benzene. It is, therefore, possible to polymerize according to the process of the present invention with special advantage also B-lactams carrying one or two hydrogen atoms in ,B-position to the carbonyl group.
  • the polymer solutions obtained by the process according to the invention are highly viscous and may be used with special advantage for the manufacture of filaments and films.
  • solutions of the monomeric B-lactams in the solvent systems of the invention are stable for an unlimited period. They polymerize only upon the addition of catalysts usually employed for the anionic polymerization of lactarns. The polymerization proceeds more rapidly while yielding higher degrees of polymerization than when it is carried out in the same solvents without the addition of lithium salts.
  • lithium salts act as strong bases in aprotonic solvents.
  • they catalyze the anionic polymerization of acrylonitrile (Advances in Organic Chemistry, vol. 5, p. 32, New York, 1965).
  • Monomer solutions of this type therefore, do not withstand storage.
  • fl-lactams inasmuch as they are unsubstituted at the nitrogen atom, i.e. only carry one hydrogen atom at the nitrogen atom, may be polymerized by the process of the invention such, for example, as unsubstituted azetidinone, 4-methyl-azetidinone, 4-ethyl-azetidinone, 4 n-butyl-azetidinone, 4-n-dodecyl-azetidinone, 4- vinyl-azetidinone, 4-phenyl-azetidinone, 3,3-dimethylazetidinone, cisand trans-3,4 dimethyl-azetidinone, 4,4-dimethyl azetidinone, 4 methyl-4-n-propylazetidinone, 4- methyl 4 neopentyl-azetidinone, 4-methyl-4-phenoxymethyl-azetidinone, 4,4 die
  • optical antipodes of fi-lactams having centres of asymmetry in the molecule may be polymerized singly or in any desired mixture. Copolymers of fi-lactams with one another or with tat-pyrrolidone may also be obtained by the process of the invention.
  • catalysts for the polymerization of the ,B-lactams which are unsubstituted at the nitrogen atom those catalysts which are generally employed in the anionic polymerization of fi-lactams, i.e., mainly alkali metal lactamates.
  • alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds have a catalytic action whose aqueous solutions have an alkaline reaction with respect to phenolphthalein.
  • the catalysts may be added to the solution of the monomers in the usual manner or they may be produced in the polymerization batch by the addition of alkali metals, alkaline bases or salts of Weak acids.
  • catalysts that may be used, the following catalysts are mentioned by way of example: sodium compound of 4,4 dimethyl-azetidinone, pyrrolidone-potassium sodium acetylide, sodium, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, sodium cyanide, calcium cyanide, potassium cyanide, phenyl lithium, ethyl magnesium bromide, 4-methyl-azetidinone-lithium.
  • the concentration of the catalyst may vary considerably and depends on the reactivity and concentration of the monomer, the activator concentration and the possibility of abstracting the heat evolved during the polymerization.
  • the catalyst is generally added at the rate of 0.1% to 10% by weight, preferably 0.1% to 3% by weight, calculated on the amount of the monomers used.
  • N-acyl-lactams act as chain starting agents or activators in the anionic polymerization of B-lactams. Said N-acyl-lactams are also used in the manufacture of the spinnable solutions of B-polyamides according to the process of the present invention. They are added to the polymerization batch in the usual manner or are produced in the batch itself by acylating agents.
  • activators there may be used, for example, N-benzoyl-4,4- dimethyl azetidinone, phenyl isocyanate, benzene sulfochloride, oxalybis-pyrrolidone, N,N'-bis-(carbo-methoxy) ethylene urea.
  • the concentration of the activator largely determines the polymerization degree of the final product; it is, therefore, varied within a broad range according to the required purpose. It is also possible to operate without an activator.
  • the activator is generally used in an amount within the range of from to 1% by weight, calculated on the amount of the monomers used.
  • the properties of the polymer solution formed are essentially determined by the concentration and the polymerization degree of the polymer, it is necessary to impart the desired properties to the polymer solution by choosing a suitable proportion of these two values. These values depend on the purpose required in each case.
  • the concentration of the polymer may, therefore, vary within a broad range. It is generally advantageous to operate with monomer concentrations within the range of from 1% to 80% by weight, calculated on the total weight of the solution.
  • the polymerization When operating with lower monomer concentrations, the polymerization is generally adversely affected by contaminations of the solvent. In the case of too high concentrations, the polymer solution becomes too viscous and tends to gelatinize. However, when choosing suitable conditions, the polymerization and work-up many also be carried out outside this range of concentration. It is also possible and, under certain circumstances, advantageous to alter the ratios of concentration during or after the polymerization by the addition of monomers, solvents and lithium salt. Especially when supplying the monomer in measured amounts during the polymerization, it is possible to influence the molecular weight, the distribution of the molecular weight and the character of the copolymers. The degree of polymerization, the reaction period and the properties of the polymer solution formed are also influenced by the polymerization temperature.
  • the temperature of the batch during the polymerization procedure and the work-up may be varied. For example, to attain a high polymerization degree, the polymerization may be carried out at 10 C. and spinning at 100 C. In a closed apparatus which operates continuously it is sometimes advantageous to operate at a temperature which increases from the stage of metering in the monomers until the polymer solution reaches the spinneret.
  • the temperatures of the polymerization and of the work-up may be situated within the range of from below 0 C. up to and including the boiling point of the solution; however, it is also possible to operate under pressure at a temperature which is superior to this range.
  • solvents neutral or at most weakly basic solvents the molecules of which contain 1 to 12 carbon atoms, at least two hetero atoms of Group V or Group VI, preferably of the 2nd and 3rd Period (N, P, O, S) of the Periodic Table in direct linkage with one another or linked through a carbon atom, and which contain a semi-polar or a double bond at at least one of these hetero atoms.
  • solvents may be used with special advantage whose hetero atoms do not contain hydrogen atoms in direct linkage, for example dimethyl sulfoxide or tetramethylene sulfon.
  • dimethyl sulfoxide or tetramethylene sulfon for example dimethyl sulfoxide or tetramethylene sulfon.
  • solvent and lithium salt can be used with optimum advantage in each case depends on the properties of the monomers and the polymers made thereof and on the required purpose.
  • Organic acid amides and esters have the broadest range of application.
  • the amides of formic acid, acetic acid and carbonic acid in whose lithium salt solution the fi-polyamides have the optimum solubility; there are mentioned, for example: Formamide, acetamide, e-caprolactam. Since amides, which carry hydrogen atoms at the nitrogen atom frequency act as chain terminating agents, there are attained high polymerization degrees in the said amides only with ,B-lactams which have a sufficiently high rate of polymerization. For this reason it is generally advantageous to use such amides whose nitrogen atoms are fully substituted. For this reason, and also for reasons of economy, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide and methyl pyrrolidone are especially preferred.
  • esters are tetramethyl urea, malonic acid-bis-(diethylamide), the semi-ester amides of carbonic acid such as N,N-dimethyl-urethane, imino ethers, amidines, guanidines, thiocarbonic acid amides and thio ureas.
  • lithium salt solutions in esters may be used as solvents for the polymerization of fi-lactams unsubstituted at the nitrogen atom for the manufacture of spinnable solutions according to the process of the invention.
  • Cyclic esters with 5 or 6 ring members are especially advantageous since they have a minor action as chain starting agents (activators) and, in this manner, likewise enable high polymerization degrees to be attained.
  • esters there belong, for example, glycol carbonate, glycol oxalate or 'y-butyrolactone.
  • the polymers formed are maintained in solution by the addition of lithium halides or lithium pseudo halides.
  • the lithium salts may be added prior to and during the polymerization so that the polymer is maintained in solution.
  • the lithium halides and lithium pseudo halides to be used are lithium fluoride, -chloride, -bromide, -idide, -cyanide, -thiocyanate, -azide and -cyanate, which must likewise be regarded as belonging to the group of the pseudo halides.
  • Which of these salts can be used with special advantage must be examined in each individual case. As a rule, the cheaper lithium chloride will be preferred. Also the optimum concentration of the lithium salts has to be varied from case to case.
  • the stability of the polymer solutions decreases with a decreasing content of lithium salt.
  • solutions of an unlimited stability or solutions which are in a state bordering on gel formation are obtained with lithium salt concentrations of from 1% by Weight to that concentration at which the solution is saturated with said salt, which amounts in some systems to more than 50% by weight, calculated on the amount of the lithium salt solution used as the solvent.
  • solutions of an unlimited stability are obtained with lithium salt concentrations of from 5 to by weight, calculated on the solvent.
  • the polymer solutions obtained by the process of the present invention may be worked up in various ways directly into films, fibers, filaments and shaped articles.
  • the work-up into films, fibers or filaments may be carried out by the dryor the wet spinning process. In the dry spinning process it is necessary to wash out the lithium salt from the filament after the spinning process with water, alcohols or other solvents which dissolve the lithium salts.
  • the polymer solutions in the wet state.
  • precipitating bath liquids there may be used a variety of dilferent solvents such as water, methanol, glycerine, acetone, dioxane, chloroform and the like, in which the polymer coagulates.
  • dilferent solvents such as water, methanol, glycerine, acetone, dioxane, chloroform and the like, in which the polymer coagulates.
  • two different precipitating processes result.
  • Water, methanol or dimethyl formamide for example, polymer filaments or films which are free from lithium salt are obtained, which filaments or films may subsequently be freed from the precipitating agent by drying or washing out with water.
  • the lithium chloride complex of the polymer precipitates, from which the lithium salt may then, for example, be washed out with water.
  • the lithium salt may then, for example, be washed out with water.
  • the films, fibers and filaments may be drawn and fixed in the wet or in the dry state in known manner.
  • EXAMPLE 2 0.4 gram of pyrrolidone-potassium. was added to a solution of 20 grams of 4,4-dimethyl-azetidinone, ml.
  • the highviscous spinning solution obtained could be spread on glass plates to yield films which coagulated upon being placed in water, glycerine or dimethyl formamide. They could be drawn with or without heating.
  • the relative viscosity was 6.5, measured on 1 gram of the substance in ml. of concentrated sulfuric acid at 20 C. The yield amounted to 98% of the theoretical yield.
  • EXAMPLE 3 0.2 gram pyrrolidone-potassium was added to a solution consisting of 10 grams of 4-methyl-azetidinone, 10 grams of 4,4-dimethyl-azetidinone, 10 grams of lithium chloride and 20 mg. of oxalyl pyrrolidone in 90 ml. of dimethyl formamide at 20 C. During the course of 10 minutes the temperature rose to 60 C. and then declined rapidly.

  • EXAMPLE 4 During the course of 30 minutes, a solution of 0.02 gram of oxalyl pyrrolidone in 20 grams of 4-methylazetidinone was allowed to run into a solution consisting of 0.1 gram pyrrolidone-potassium and 10 grams of lithium-chloride in 80 ml. of dimethyl formaniide at 20 C. A highly viscous spinning solution was obtained which could be worked up into filaments and sheets. The polymer had a relative viscosity of 99' (measured on 1 gram of the substance in 100 ml. of concentrated sulfuric acid at 20 C.). The yield amounted to 100% of the theoretical yield.
  • EXAMPLE 6 The polymerization was carried out as described in Example 5 except that dimethyl sulfoxide was used as the solvent instead of phosphoric acid trisdimethyl amide. From the highly viscous stable solution formed a polymer was obtained in theoretical yield which had the relative viscosity of 5.1.
  • the filtered spinning solution which had a tempera ture of 60 C. had a viscosity of 280 falling ball seconds (steel balls having a diameter of 2.5 mm.) over a distance of 20 cm.
  • This solution was spun through a spinneret of gold and platinum having 20 openings (diameter of the openings: 100 microns) into a coagulation bath containing water having a temperature of 30 C.
  • the filament was drawn off from the bath by means of triorollers at a rate of 6 m./min. and drawn in a washing bath of 80 C. by 4.8 times its original length.

The mixture was heated during the course of 15 minutes to 80 C. A filament-drawing polymer solution was obtai ed.
  • EXAMPLE 10 20 grams of 4-vinyl-azetidinone were polymerized in a solution consisting of 20 grams of lithium bromide and 60 ml. of dimethyl formamide by the addition of 0.2 gram of pyrrolidone-potassium. A filament-drawing solution was obtained.
